Black Diamond O3 Telemark Binding

Item #BLD0394 | 21 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Durable and versatile

By Ranked #187 - Telemark Skiing February 23, 2009

For the price, these are a great binding. I have the midstiff cartriges, which tour well and seem to have plenty of power for the downhill.

I think the only problem is that BD is now trying to market them as a touring-only binding. I'd say it's better suited for 50% inbounds and 50% out-of-bounds.

They seem to be about 100 times more durable than the G3 Targas. I have been skiing them for three years now and have not had any failures.

The cartridges to loosen relatively easily. But, it sounds like this is a problem with all of the BD bindings.
